What exactly is it for, knowing how many birds and what kind will help us give you a better idea

It will be either a trio of LF leghorn or a pair hopefully a quad in a couple months of seabright
 
I used a rabbit a hutch.I can go measure it soon but I did little to nothing to it, just was given it by a friend,but why im saying is if you can manage to pick one up, you can by one.
I have also used small black dog kennels.Which Also requires no work but actually putting the cage together, plus they have a tray making cleaning simple..HOWEVER, you will have to get this in a bigger size as most of mine are small, but also remember the wire is rectangle shaped and a predator can easily stick its paws through there,maybe rewrap with some sorta wire.I also stacked the dog cages and just separated the birds at night,some would go up top, some on bottom so things wouldn’t get too crowded.
The other cage for my grow out pen,the rabbit cage, is about four feet in length and almost three feet in width.I fit sixteen 5 week old chicks in this however it is a bit crowded, at one point I had four Bantam Cochins who lived happily in it.

Couldn’t get full pick but this is probably as simple and cheap as it gets it was wired all the way around but I cut the wire off the back and replaced the left side with wood and the back as well,
the front and right side are wired and covered with sheet to help with wind drafts.I also made simple crafted stairs by just taking some sticks breaking them in half and nailing them on,It works great and easily be moved around.

See the problem is I dont have a ton of money and shed can be expensive I am looking into getting a second hand one but so far most of the shed turned out to be totally rotten or 2 far away for me to collect
